If confused by the Amendment debate, read this statement of its content. Those opposing it late seek confusion to delay. Read for yourselves. The Voting Rights Act IS IN IT by NAME. VOTE YES. #RVA @NAACP @PostOpinions @FreePressRVA Levine omits this fact.
ballotpedia.org/Virginia_Quest…
#RVA @RTDOpinions 2/It says "Every electoral district shall be drawn in accordance with the requirements of federal and state laws that address racial and ethnic fairness, including the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States &
3/"provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, & judicial decisions interpreting such laws. Districts shall provide, where practicable, opportunities for racial & ethnic communities to elect candidates of their choice." This is the actual amendment language #RVA
4.Levine's involved since 2016. I trust KenPlum Janet Howell, Don Beyer & others who've worked decades to achieve this goal. This is pure & simple a power play to keep partisan control concentrated in hands of a few. #RVA This ENSHRINES the #VotingRightsAct in Va constitution!
5. Not sure what fast-talking #MarkLevine did to convince @delegatebagby he should oppose this. Their @RTDOpinion said not one word about #VotingRights Levine's been involved 4 yrs. The rest of us 4 decades. Vote YES 4 #VotingRights @chpn @FreePressRVA #RVA
5. Levine, with whom I would agree on most else, says 2 votes, Not true. PaulGoldman said 3. Opponents differ in their complaints. They strain out gnats & swallow camels. The camel is losing the opportunity to actually make the #VotingRights Act part of Virginia's Constitution.
The Virginia League of Women Voters says Vote YES, they support this redistricting amendment. @LWVVA

Let me defend @LevarStoney from the @CBS6 narcissistic rock musician pretending to be a journalist, without formal training to be one, so he is just a gossip, basically, trying to sew division in this city.
MayorStoney and Fan residents most certainly DID engage in extensive conference discussions about Monument Avenue via Zoom, telephone and email. I participated in most. Additional communications were via email, as #RVA does for other projects like Richmond300, new Bike Lanes and most other City Communications. I participated in almost all. People signed up or were on the regular City email distribution list. There were no large mass meetings for there was NO requirement to do so and during the #COVID pandemic were not permitted. Such meetings are also known NOT to be the way to manage projects and solve problems, but by involving smaller groups. I both managed large projects and taught project management for decades. Small working groups solve problems. Not large undisciplined unfocused crowds. No organization operates any other way.
But how would #TylerLayne know? His experience is as a rock and roll singer. Every organization has also been doing virtual meetings. 1/ #RVA #RVAMayor @CBS6 @8NEWS @NBC12 @RTDCulture
2/ Suggestions from a VCU Art prof for an avant-garde abstract sculpture were rejected as completely unsuitable for a Victorian era residential community where there are 6 churches, a synagogue, Orchard House School for girls, a preK-1st grade day school, senior day care, and a senior residence building along 1-2 blocks. Monument Avenue IS and always has been a residential community in the Fan.
@8NEWS @NBC12OYS @RTDCulture @CBS6 #RVAMayor
3/ @LevarStoney and city staff led the email and virtual discussions and a consensus formed to take care to maintain the residential nature of the community. People work and live their lives there. A concept also emerged not to replace monuments with more monuments, but instead replace monuments of war with plants and flower gardens, symbols of peace. That idea was agreed upon because of the environmental benefits of plants and adding green space and beauty to the city, in a much more time and cost-effective way. @CBS6 @8NEWS @NBC12OYS

@VAHouseDems @DonScott757 @ssurovell @VASenateDems I know as much about the pharmaceutical industry as anyone not currently in senior management in a bio-pharma company, and for 10 years taught these business issues in a graduate course for bio/medical grad & professional students, except for determining what the #costs should be. Those costs are best determined by individuals with a PhD in a complex field, PharmacoEconomics. @vademocrats
2. I do not presume to know how to price drugs or especially medical devices, which generally are most expensive and often get special exemptions. Generally, the costs consumers pay are determined by the PBMs, #PharmacyBenefitsManagers, the Middle Men who set reimbursements for pharmacies. Most small-medium biopharma companies consider them the culprits in very high drug costs. @VAHouseDems @VASenateDems @vahousegop @VASenateGOP @vademocrats @VA_GOP
3. #BigPharma gets the bad rap on the high prices but they invest heavily in R&D to develop new drugs, but the regulatory burden is immense & costly, with 4 sets of Clinical Trials, I, II, III, IV- is when the drug is usually introduced in the market but still with very strict & careful health monitoring for side effects, all required before @US_FDA approval. (I added this detail to show why #WARPSPEED -2 years w shortcuts, caused all the fear & confusion about the #COVID19 vaccines, when unexpected events occurred, without the usual close monitoring & tracking of the standard approach.
Graphic below shows the cost and time required to get a drug to market, the length of time required before income/revenue and little time before patent expires.
These contribute to the high costs. @GovernorVA

@AmerMedicalAssn Your position on "gender affirming care" for children with gender dysphoria is clearly written to appease the Trans Activists, who are vociferous, aggressive, litigious and well funded, but apparently unaware of, or indifferent to, what these surgeries actually… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2. The surgeries involve atrocities like a double mastectomy removing healthy breasts, cutting shoulder & back muscles so patient will have limited use of arms thereafter. This for a young person with a mental health disorder. A second surgery involves constructing a penis by… https://t.co/WvuoKesdMxtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

3. This PubMed search summary page describes some of the risks of the "gender affirming care" interventions, but without the full graphic details I provided above. YOU really needed to know those #facts and so do your lawyers. There is a better way. https://t.co/CojZVAF63ltwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@VP You are in error. That statement in FL standards was correct. "Servants" were also called "our people, or "our family" NOT "slaves" in common conversation & vernacular. They did indeed learn skills, carpentry, glass work, handy work & repairs, blacksmithing, handling… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
They could usually benefit from their efforts locally with permission, but of course faced legal obstacles going outside their local communities or trying to get a patent, for example. Even Jeff Davis, of whom I'm no fan, tried to get a patent for one of his people, that was… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@VP There were many, many families in which beloved "slaves" WERE considered family members & whose memory is still revered. Even in Alabama! I know such a family that now lives in FL. They name a male child each generation (now to the 4th generation) after old Sledge, who stayed… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
